Are beauty vloggers the new activists? Two guerilla PSAs use makeup tutorials to spread social messages
Take 17-year-old Nikkie de Jager from the Netherlands, who first became involved in the online makeup tutorial world at the tender age of 14 and has since developed a following of over 180,000 subscribers. Volkswagen, frustrated with the 500,000-plus road crashes that are caused by female drivers applying their make-up every year (in Britain alone), tapped De Jager for a guerilla PSA, reaching women “exactly where [they] spend time thinking about ‘make-up’”. So far, “a crash course to shine,” which depicts De Jager crashing in slow motion while trying to apply a rhinestone applique, has received over 500,000 views.
